Burnley is being absolutely robbed.
Stupid challenge from LowtonBurnley is being absolutely robbed.
How? Just saw the Willian pen and it was stonewall.Burnley is being absolutely robbed.
I think the ref could maybe have given the penalty decision either way as it's a subjective call as to whether Willian created the contact or (as I happen to think) it was a foul regardless of what Willian did as contact was already inevitable at the point Willian played into the foul.You guys can disagree with me about the penalty. But watch it again and note how Willian bends his leg and goes down way before being touched.
It was a stupid challenge from Lowton and I thought it was a pen so I don't blame the field ref, but VAR should have spotted it, that's why they are there after all.
But in the second goal, there was a blatant push by Abraham on the defender. Clear foul and illegal goal all day long.
That's probably why they don't want to do it, imo.Clattenburg in the NBC studio, after the ARS red card, said the ref should go the sideline monitor & the stadium big screens should show the fans the same images as TV viewers.
I have mixed feelings about the big screens showing the replays at the same time the VAR is looking at it. There could be pandemonium in the stands.
He's right VR is absolute stupidity... Ref on the pitch must make the call. Not remotely!Clattenburg in the NBC studio, after the ARS red card, said the ref should go the sideline monitor & the stadium big screens should show the fans the same images as TV viewers.

How are VAR decisions which are either wrong or ridiculous nothing to do with VAR (let's say the process of VAR if you like)The usage of VAR can be improved but it has massively reduced the number of wrong decisions which is why it was brought in. Any controversy is usually down to disagreements with the laws of the game (such as the handball rule) that are not VAR's fault. And whenever the likes of Sky moan about the time it takes to arrive at a decision, I'll remind them that they are happy to discuss nonsense like a wrongly awarded throw-in for hours.

Crazy. Shows how poor the refs are in the PL. Corrupt and poor. I think only Pool likes what VAR brings since it helps them.
Not handball.

Have they given any explanation for why? I'd love to actually hear the hypocrisy in full effect. That seems outrageous.

I’d be raging if I were a Leicester fan. Absolute joke.

Probably Oliver that didn't give it. Or it might just be against us that he ignores clear penalties almost every time.I’d be raging if I were a Leicester fan. Absolute joke.
Blimey...anyone would think this was a United forum. How dare we slag off our fiercest rivals.It's hilarious to read in here about all the decisions Liverpool supposedly has got in their favor, considering that when you actually look it up, Liverpool have got 4 overturned VAR decisions for them and 3 against.
United on the other hand has 5 for and 1 against. The comments are so out of touch with reality that you could make it a case study on confirmation bias.
Those stats completely ignore when VAR should have intervened but didn’t.It's hilarious to read in here about all the decisions Liverpool supposedly has got in their favor, considering that when you actually look it up, Liverpool have got 4 overturned VAR decisions for them and 3 against.

Exactly! There have been plenty of blatant decisions go against United when VAR hasn't even intervened. Penalties not given for clear fouls on Martial in the box against Crystal Palace in August, and on Saturday in the first half against Wolves, are two examples that immediately spring to mind.Those stats completely ignore when VAR should have intervened but didn’t.
